Has the day been criticised?

The day has come under some criticism from those who claim that the very act of having a "coming out day" could pressurise anyone to feel like they have to publicly disclose their sexuality on a single day.

In many countries being openly gay is still stigmatised, illegal and often dangerous.

Supporters say the day is not specifically about coming out, but more about celebrating diversity and the right to love or be whoever you want.
